of Tho Gazette's fsailrsaa Map.
TRLI.s TRUE I4kR. q
The Fort Worth GAZKTzx now illuuk
mates its heading withsa small circular
map, about the size ofAhalf dollar, show
ing the Fort as the hub of q wheel with
eleven spokes, each of which represent a
railroad. The best of it is, nine of these
roads are built or now under construe-
ton, and the other two are pretty safe in
the near future. The Fort is railway
center; that little half-dollar map tells q
true tale Waco Day.
ON TO THE REFRIGERATOR.
In the center of the head lire of the
Fort Worth GAZETTE is placed circle,
and in the center of this circle is located
the city, from which radistes lines in
every direction representing the number
of railroads running to that city. Fort
Worth is like tish-she islost out of her
element. Put fish in water and it swims
smoothly; put that town on railroad
scheme and she moves right along. Dal-
las copes with her on the meat factory
question, and the Fort is humping her
self, but the way for her to succeed is to
imsgine it railroad and cry "On to the
meat refrigerator" This is her only hope.

BUSTED INTO sPLINTERS.
That little circular map that the Fort
Worth GAZETTE is wearing as part of its
head gear. looks like superanuated cart
wheel that had busted its spokes all into
splinters and kept the splinters sticking in
the hub Honey Grove Citizen.
A PRETTY DESIGN.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE has adopted
new "crest" for it's title. 1t is circu-
lar map, of which Fort Worth is the CEN
ter, railroads running from all points to
it. Dallas is represented as way sta
ton. 1t rests on base, one side of
which is locomotive and the other q
group of cattle. A turtle, the moral of
which is not quite clear, is crawling on
the outer edge. Altogether it is quite 8
pretty design, and will no doubt have q
depreciating influence on Dallas real es-
tate values Dallas Times.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. IF
The new map of Fort Worth which TIE
GAZETTE has Incorporated into its "hesd' Z
looks like Mexican silver dollar that
had been run through an old fashioned
THAT SPIDER WEB.
What the deuce is that spider-web look
ing concern with circle around it and
star in the centre that the Fort Worth
GAZETTE prints in the middle of its head
liner Aurora News.
ADMIRES THE FORT.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE has put
representation of q small world in it's
main head line, from which it is plain to
see Fort Worth is the hub, from which
railroads run in eleven different direc-
tions. Dallas is put down as way sta
ton on the Texas and Pacific. Well, we
can't help but admire THE GAZETTE and
the people of Fort Worth for their pluck
and enterprise, and do not wonder that
they imagine themselves the hub of
world of their own Hillsboro Reflector.
ON WITH THE BUST.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE appeared on
the 18th with g new design on its head,
same being railroad map showing the
Fort as the railroad center of the world.
If the Fort "does not get there" it will
not be owing to want of effort on the part
of that great newspaper THE GAZETTE

ITS HISTORY.
The front of the estimable Fort Worth
GAZETTE is now embelliShed with pic
ture of the globe, in which Fort Worth is
the center. This claim to being the ex-
act center of the world is of record. In
1913 an exploring party under the leader
ship of the Rt. Rev. Father McGlottlin, a
Jesuit missionary, fixed upon the spot
where Fort Worth now stands as the ex-
act center of the earth, led to the spot by
the variations of the magnetic needle
The fact was established by protracted
verifications by theodolitic surveys, a
study of the ALTERATION of light in the
fixed stars, and stone marked C. T. was
fixed in spot about thirty feet from
where the court house now stands. A full
report is contained in the archives of
monastery at Madrid Waco Examiner
SHOWS OUR TERRITORY.
The new heading of the Fort Worth
GAZETTE is another indication of the en-
terprise of the Eapcr. An extensive
territo,y, including a number of cities
and towns, and showing Fort Worth's
numerous railroad lines, is represented
in circular form, with Fort Worth as the
center Georgetown Sun.
